Hey all,
Does anyone here have any tips to protect the camera lens of this phone? It sticks out the back a little and I'm afraid it will get scratched over time. Is that too made of gorilla glass, is it scratch resistant? Or should i go for a case.
Problem with the case is that dust is getting accumulated between Bezel and screen and i hate it.
I have some scratches on the lens, but haven't noticed any affect of that in photos.
But if you want not to scratch it more, then either you have to put a protective scratch guard, you can see Martinfield website for that OR you have to use a case which will cover the lens from scratch when you place it on a flat hard surface. You can use a good case for that, like- CM Tough, Pop, SGP Neo etc., but those cases as you said will keep the dust inside the bezel and the case. If you don't like that, then you have to use a Flip Top cover, some leather good ones are available like, SGP Argos, Zenus Prestige Carbon etc.
Regards.

thanks Bro.
I have just thinking about that yesterday. I am afraid that it could get scratch while dragging the phone off the table or some other surface...
My idea: buy very cheap screen protector (1 €/$), cut it and place it on the camera lens. I will do that as soon as I buy one.
I got this case to go with my brand new Z3 and I absolutely love it. The only problem is, it fits so tightly my screen protector gets lifted up on the edges and won't stay on.
Can anyone recommend a screen protector that works with this amazing case?
Sorry, no suggestion but a question ? are you using a tempered glass sp or a regular one? I'm using tempered sp and really like the look of the case but I'm afraid it will lift up the protector.

I have a Pthink ultra slim tempered glass protector and no, it would not fit with the case. If I would've checked the reviews on Amazon a little better before buying the case it would've saved some time and headache.
After going through getting the Sony Scr24 Style Cover case and this one, I finally found the best case for this phone (imo).
Ringke FUSION case (I got the smoke black one which shows less fingerprints) - it looks a thousand times better than the Tudia, offers decent protection for the phone, and best of all is designed to work with a tempered glass screen protector.

Awesome. You'll love it. There's a sticker on the case that tells u to remove the protective film from front and back (start at the camera hole). Just make sure u don't use anything that will scratch the case when u try to get that protective film off - it's really on there. A little patience with it and I got both films off without much trouble.

Just received. I like it. Better quality then Ringke for nexus 4. I'll stick to it as I don't plan to waste money on dubious cases. If zoogue had case for Z3 that would be clear choice, but this one is more than good. In the future I'll just buy a dbrand skin and slap it on the back with tempered glass so I can remove the case if I feel like it. Also, on nexus 4 ,combination of dbrand skin and clear Ringke back looked awesome.
Edit: one thing I would like though, is bigger lip around the screen. Like on zoogue or diztronic.
Dear ,
I have my s7 for a few days and I wanoticed protect it against scratches.
I already have a tempered glass for the front
But the question is,is there one for the back..
Now, don't recommend me any sort of case. That it not why I bought a 700 dollar phone. I want to feel the premium materials etc
So, is there any tempered glass for the back?
If yes, where? (Preferably ebay)
Thanks
There are screen protector films for back in eBay but I don't think there is tempered glasses for back side.
Slickwraps
I would recommend checking out slickwraps. You can get coverage of the back of the phone and the sides, in color or seethrough.

How about a clear case?

a clear case poses the same problem. He said he wants to *feel* the materials of the the phone. Not just see it. I was actually thinking something similar. I had always put my phones in cases, thin ones because I carry them in my pocket. But this time, I really like how the entire phone looks and feels. I wish they could have used sapphire for the glass, then I wouldn't even care about trying to find a tempered glss protector
Bumping this.
Would really like to see more focus on tempered glass for the backside. What I have seen from videos the back seems to be more fragile.
Doesn't seem to be very common though?
So I'm getting my S8 today but I still don't have anythong for its protection.
1.) What is the best CLEAR case for this device that gives it basic (slim but not too slim)? I also want to have that raised lip for the fingerprint sensor in the back.
2.) For screen protectors, is Temperd Glass recommended for curved devices? If so, which one is best?
I want to have the total cost for these at a minimal as I don't feel like spnding a lot just for the these basic accessories.
Thanks for the help!
Well I wasted almost 30 bucks on screen protectors and the only thing I can say is DO NOT buy any 3D tempered glass that is supposed to cover whole front. The main problem here is the adhesive which is located only on edges of the protector. There is air between screen and protector, which sometimes decreases touch responsivity, forcing you to apply some pressure in certain areas so that the input is registered. Also, most of these 3D glass protectors collide with many cases, so they simply don't work. Personally, just go for some decent case that will secure your device from drop, like RhinoShield or Spigen Neo Hybrid. If you care about design and don't want to lose it, go for something clear and thin/ultra thin
I bought a Baseus case from eBay and lobe it so much. So thin and light and matches perfectly. They are in Amazon too.
Also works with my Darth Vader skin that I have on the back so it still shows that off.

So are you saying not to go with any screen protector at all? Does this apply to the usual "flimsy" screen protectors as well?
Definitely do not buy any harted glass. I have ordered 3D TPU film that has adhesive on whole surface it will ship on thursday so I will tell ya if it works or not

I strongly thinking of going back to no protector. I tried glass and the White Stone dome one was great except the glue on the side kept chipping out and looked terrible. I've got a film protector on now from Best Buy Canada and again it feels so crappy compared to the naked screen. If I remove it I'll still be careful but I do have insurance just in case. I already don't use a case (only a skin) for the very same reason...that I want to enjoy the feel and look of this beauty, not cover to up to protect it for someone else in the future.

I did that with my HTC 10 for a year for the same reason and it has no scratches or micro-abrasions at all. I think it's pretty safe to assume the S8 will be no different. As for going caseless... I wouldn't recommend that for a device mainly made of glass lol. Check out the Supcase review I just posted and try it out if you like. If not, return it or at least you'd have something to put on your phone when you're going somewhere or doing something that may cause you to drop it.
Buy yourself genuine samsung screen protector tpu version and genuine samsung light case.....or silicon case genuine.... all goes 100% together.
@Hunteres
But then you oay more than what you should be paying? And that there are others that are even of higher quality than Samsung? Pass.

Is this the first time that Samsung hit it correctly? Are these generally cheaper in eBay than when bought from Samsung stores?

Right, I don't have a doubt regarding their genuineness. It's just that there are other screen protectors like the Spigen Neo Flex that costs $8.99 for a 2-pack as well. Same goes for the clear cases, there are others that are significantly cheaper than the Samsung. So I'm just wondering how do these fare with the official Samsung ones. Any thoughts?

I agree. My only concern though is that I kinda want the "raised lip for the fingerprint sensor" feature that the Ringke cases offer and I don't think the Spigen cases have that.

Well, yeah, but I want to know how the Spigen compares to the Ringke. Maybe it is better in terms of other departments and the like.
im using the Ringke fusin clear case.
i absoultly love it, its offer all the feature's im looking at case (thin, clear and lift on top and bottom of the screen)
im gonna order the Spigen liquid Crystal as well. as the reviews says its very good case. (remindes the Ringke features)
I'm using the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. I think it a great case. I had the same one on my S7 Edge for a year.

I just finished installing the Whitestone Dome tempered glass screen protector. Initial thoughts so far is it's the best on the market hands down. Make sure you check for case compatibility before you purchase it though. The price is a little steep at $45 but well worth it IMO. The adhesive is under the entire glass and uses a UV to cure. Clarity and touch performance seem to be spot on. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06Z...+galaxy+s8&dpPl=1&dpID=51W7ozwV4HL&ref=plSrch

Me too, in Midnight Black color! Very elegant and nice.
Haven't understand yet if the clear back will become yellow or not in time...
About the screen protection, I'm a tempered glass lover. Since I've been using them I've saved all my old phones.
I've tried some curved glasses on my S8, but finally the Zagg Sapphire Curve is available in Europe and I've ordered one!
I know, it's not glass, but it's supposed to be harder then glass, and got now it's the cheapest solution for having a protection this good that adheres to all the device's screen.
And I've seen that it's case friendly and that not that bad in touchscreen sensitivity!
Will let you know

The Spigen ultra hybrid on my S7 Edge stayed pretty much clear the year I had it. I'm using a Armorsuit Military screen protector. It's not glass but it will do for now. It's really difficult to find a tempered glass protector for a curved screen. It seems like all if them are junk. I wait and let others experiment until there is one that really works without issues.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XXTRWBL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For clear case, my recommendation would be the Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear or the Otterbox Symmetry Clear. The otterbox is slightly chunkier but not much.
As for a screen protector I've tried the Samsung official one and the Spigen Neo Flex.
The Samsung one is a dry application and therefore is extremely difficult to get on right without dust spots. I tried it on 3 different phones and didn't get either of them right, even with the dust removal sticker.
The Spigen Neo Flex is a wet application which is far better cause when it dries out it leaves no dust spots or air bubbles. But imo the corners aren't a perfect fit for most cases. Again I tried a few and even with Spigen cases the corners lifted on all of them. A little trimming of the corners with a scalpel solved this. This protector isn't as clear looking as the Samsung dry film but is of the "military material type" and so self heals with any minor dings and scratches. I'd trim the corners a little (follow the contour of the corner and trim off a mm or two) before applying this for best adhesion on all corners for a case. It def has a slightly different feel to screen but at rhe moment I think this is the best solution of at the moment to protect out precious S8 screens.
Hope this helps.

Hi all,
I have a spigen neoflex TPU protection on my s23 ultra, with a plastic spigen case.
I've bought an official Samsung leather case, and it seems really nice.
But, the neoflex is a bit to short on the sides, so that my finger feels the border of the screen protection every time I swipe left or right.
So, I would like to replace the neoflex with a tempered glass protection.
Do you know one who will fit well?
I have had a really bad experience with an Oppo find X5 pro : I've tested 5 tempered glass brands and every time my beautiful official Kevlar case unglued the tempered glass in the corners...
Thank you for your help
Whitestone dome or Spigen have been the best in my experience.
Avoid amfilm at all costs.
I have domeglass with leather samsung cover. In my opinion everything is fine. Of course glass not cover full screen and is about 1,5 mm smaller than all screen - safe "bumper" for covers.
I have too spigen optic armor and with domeglass is perfect fit, no one gap between case and glass but I seldom use this spigen.
Since S23 Ultra has a curved screen, I dont really think you should get a tempered cause either they dont cover the curved area or if they do, I dont really trust the protection they offer. For Curved Screen, I suggest getting a Screen Protector Film just to be safe. There is a Full-Body Screen Protector from Gadgetshieldz that covers the screen and other parts of the device like the sides, back and camera. Cases dont necessarily help with the scratches cause Ive seen multiple devices getting permanent marks inspite of the cases mostly due to the dust and things. So best to keep everything protected with either a Skin or a Full-Body protector. They also provide Skins if thats what you prefer.

Yaa I swear. All my previous devices had this issue. Ive used the best of the best cases and they still have these tiny scuffs which are permanent. This reduced the resale value of my devices and thats when I opted for this Full-Body Coverage cause I really dont mind spending a bit more to avoid these permanent damages. Im thinking of getting it wrapped with Skins next time.
So I am happy with still good stick fabric foil around frame .
Sometimes better use only minimalistic covers, not too bulky and happy with device than see scratches or crack after more time with angry tell "what was it for all this protections"

Both screen protectors and skins they provide barely adds any bulk. they are literally as thick as a sheet of paper and I dont think you can go any thinner
